Chamaedorea radicalis, Cold-resistant Mexican mountain palm Chamaedorea

This is perhaps the most cold-resistant type of Chamaedorea palm, which can be grown even without protection outside, in the warmest regions of Bulgaria. There are two forms of this palm. One forms a stem and the other develops a beautiful bushy shape. These plants for sale are of the non-trunking form. The mother plants live outside in Asenovgrad for more than 10-12 years, being planted against a wall and covered with nylon in winter. Even in the coldest winters in the past, they have had absolutely no damage.

Young Chamaedorea radicalis palms start flowering at 3 to 5 years of age. As mountain palms of the forest understory, they grow best in partial shade. Strong direct sun can burn the leaves. Plants tolerate -6 to -7 degrees without any damage, but there are many cases where they have survived -10 degrees with leaf damage. They must be protected from the snow.
